Well, that all happened fast! Australia to 148 all out from just 24.2 overs.
New Zealand, who was asked to bat by Australian team, had firstly were to set a total excess of 320, but then lost wickets at critical times.
While Mitchell Marsh had figures of 2-35 from seven, John Hastings was the most economical of the bowlers with 1-39 from 10 overs.
The three-match one-day international series moves on to Wellington on Saturday with the sides also scheduled to play two tests.
People showed their disappointment as follows;
Still can’t believe that Matt Henry who destroyed Australian top order is not in NZ squad for #WT20. #NZvAUS

OK this is the first time Australia all out for less than 25 overs in ODI history and for this they have rested players from T20 vs India

A very sorry display indeed from the World Cup holders.
